Day 5 Turtle day
Today was a hot day and I was fighting the tide most of the day. But that is just part of the experience I guess. It was just a short 15 mile day but it took a lot out of me for some reason. However, I did like what I saw today, nice houses, some…

Day 3 – great weather and long paddle
Today was much like yesterday, great weather (just too hot 86), low traffic and a long paddle (20.4 miles). This puts me ahead of schedule but I am sure that will be eaten up somewhere. It was great today that the tide was with me all the way. Tides are funny and you have to…

Day 2 a much better day
Todays weather was better – less wind but much warmer, reaching 86 and that made me melt. I was able to have a faster day (same distance almost an hour faster) because there was less traffic and less waves/wakes to deal with. I was also able to stay dryer than yesterday, so not as sticky…

This brought back so many memories of my first trip down – as soon as my older brother and I were old enough – middle school – my Dad fulfilled his lifelong dream of paddling the Allagash – we put it in on one of the upper lakes. First memories are us all sleeping under one tarp – no tent – waking up with 1000 mosquitoes perched right over our faces. And also catching dozens of brook trout into the evening on what became bare hooks – at a stream coming in. While we were dragged on this of course I ended up with several boats, doing tons of whitewater and canoe trips through out my life – and now have the light Souris River kevlar/fiberglass 17 so I can keep going alone in my old age – now 71. Ended up on one of my parents 3 week arctic trips before grad school back in 1977. Every time my Dad saw another person on a trip in Maine he would go 100 miles further north and that’s how he got to the arctic. My older sister and husband have continued to do dozens of them.
